爱融社 - Ai Rong Association
爱融社是一家在安省注册的非盈利机构,前身为美洲汽车房车露营协会。自2015年成立以来, 爱融社坚持不懈致力于推动社区参与、多元文化融合和促进安省、特别是大多伦多地区不同族裔的福祉。爱融社的使命是“赋能多姿社区、拥抱多元文化、丰富多彩人生”。爱融社致力于关注和帮助新移民、青少年、长者和 LGBTQ+ 社区等弱势群体.
由于文化背景不同和语言的障碍,少数族裔居民特别是长者寻医问药向来挑战重重。新冠疫情导致问题更加凸显。自2022年夏天起,爱融社脚踏实地联合加拿大专业健康卫生人士和机构共同举办 “加拿大寻医问药锦囊系列公益讲座”,30余场以医疗健康为主题的多学科线上讲座和线下工作坊,受到社区居民的高度赞扬和热烈欢迎。
The Ai Rong Association, formerly the Camping and Caravanning Association of America, is a non-profit organization based in Ontario. Since our founding in 2015, we have advocated tirelessly for community involvement, multiculturalism, and equity. We strive to inspire and empower communities, embrace diversity and enrich lives especially immigrants, youths, elders, the LGBTQ+ community, and ethnic minorities.
Seeking medical help and advice has always been challenging for ethnic minority residents, especially the elderly, due to differences in cultural backgrounds and language barriers. The COVID-19 pandemic has made the challenges even more pronounced. Since the summer of 2022, Ai Rong Association has organized over 30 health and healthcare events, including online seminars and in-person workshops, in collaboration with Canadian healthcare professionals and organizations. These initiatives have garnered praise and support from the community.
